A leading European manufacturer of robotics and automation, Tezmaksan Robot Technologies has introduced RoboCAM. A new CNC robot programming software platform, it is designed to ‘modernise and simplify the role of robot operators, making automation engineering more accessible to individuals that have varying levels of programming expertise’.

Developed by Tezmaksan’s software team, RoboCAM is a program used to control and monitor robotic operations, significantly reducing the time spent instructing the robot. Hakan Aydogdu, Tezmaksan’s general manager, said the platform has been designed to eliminate the complexities of robotics programming, making it accessible to operators of all skill levels.

“RoboCAM’s interface is user friendly, both for seasoned professionals and those who are new to automation. Many sectors already benefit from the use of RoboCAM, including automotive, casting, aviation, and metalware manufacturing. RoboCAM was initially developed to control our own robot automation system, the CubeBOX — a modular solution designed to automate production without human operators. However, RoboCAM has since emerged as a versatile software solution compatible with all robotic CNC machines.

“A key breakthrough achieved with RoboCAM is that the software can create 3-D models of workpieces; and by converting 2-D CAD drawings into 3-D CAM instructions RoboCAM streamlines the design manufacturing process — removing the need for extensive programming and CAM knowledge, as well as the need for specialised training.

“In addition, RoboCAM’s easy-to-use interface makes it possible to readily create transportation scenarios — where the robot moves objects or materials from one location to another while taking into account part sizes and floor layout.”

More recently, Tezmaksan has launched RoboCAM+, a new platform designed for easy set up and the ability to read and work seamlessly with Drawing Exchange Format (DXF) files, thereby allowing operators to easily upload and monitor designs ‘for enhanced customisation and flexibility’.
